Di over at Pensitivity101 launched a drink conversation in last week’s Share Your World post. For those of us who drink coffee there are big feelings on the hot versus cold question. (I’ll also note this is cold meaning iced coffee. Di and I had a whole convo about engineer’s coffee and how some consume hot bean water at lukewarm or even cold temperatures. Go ahead and shudder. I’ll wait.)

I announced I was relatively new to iced coffee. I went on a stint last summer where it was all I made at home but that was decidedly low key — brew some coffee, let cool, then store in the fridge before pouring over ice and adding all the sweet goodness. I liked it, but people kept going on about how iced coffee deserved cold brew.

No, not really, I didn’t have people in my life waxing poetic about cold brew. But I caught a hint somewhere and it triggered that hyperfixation. Next thing you know I’m twelve websites deep reading about the pros and cons of each coffee brew style and what makes cold brew best suited for an iced coffee. What can I say. I’m thorough.

Fine, not when I’m dusting, but that’s neither here nor there.

Anyway, this is the summer I decided to test that theory. Last week I tried How To Make Cold Brew Coffee by Simply Recipes and dang it all if I don’t taste a difference. Not enough to be all cold brew is the ooonnnnlllyyyy wayyyyy to make iced coffee snooty but enough to say hey, if you’re into iced coffee this wasn’t difficult to do and it’s pretty tasty. She says it produces three servings but it’s going to give me four. That will depend on what your coffee to creamer/half and half ratio is.

I’m about to sound all 54 of my years here. If someone you know — or you, it’s fine if it’s you — is dropping the coins to pick up an iced coffee every morning this is a great option. For the price of a cup of coffee beans, some half and half, and your time you’ve got at least three iced coffees to enjoy. But if a daily Dunkin’ run is your drink joy then who am I to butt into that?

Happy Saturday, everyone.
